WILLIAM S. WILEY, OF WIOHITA, KANSAS, ASSIGNOR TO CHARLES D. BRINEGAB,OF WICHITA, KANSAS.

LAMP-CEIMNEY.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, 71LLIAM S. WILEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at I'Vichita, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Chimneys; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in lamp chimneys.

- It has for its object to provide a chimney adapted to serve either foroil or gas lamps or burners and it may be made of varying sizes, as maybe required.

It has further for its object to prevent ready breakage and to providefor facility and expedition in cleaning the chimney.

Other objectsof the invention will be apparent from the subjoineddescription.

The invention consists of certain instrumentalities or featuressubstantially hereinafter fully disclosed and defined by the claims.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating the preferred embodiment of myinvention, Figure 1 is a perspective view thereof, and Figs. 2 and 3 arelike views of the two parts or members of the chimney.

In carrying out my invention I form the chimney 1 in sections or parts 2and 3 conjointly conforming to the usual outline generally adopted inmaking lamp chimneys, the upper end or top 4 of the upper member orsection 3 being preferably flared outwardly and scalloped, if desiredwhereby may be formed a shade, the same being colored or otherwisetreated for that purpose, as will be readily appreciated.

The member or section 2, in addition to having a cylindrical right-linedportion 5 to form the usual neck therefor for adjustment to the lamp orburner in connection with which it may be used, has at its upper end anannular shoulder 6, the inner surface of said member extending upwardlyfrom said shoulder forming an extension 7, which is provided at opposedpoints with lateral studs or projections S, the purpose of whichPatented Aug. 17, 1909.

Serial No. 480,854.

will presently appear. The upper or opposite chimney member 3 has itslower end preferably somewhat bulged, as at 9 and within the bulge atits inner edge is formed a shoulder 10, said bulged or enlarged portion9 having formed in its inner circumference L-shaped or bayonet form ofgrooves or slots 11 adapted for the reception of the studs orprojections 8 upon the lower chimney member 2 and whereby the chimneymembers or sections may be interlocked or connected together as informing the chim ney in its entirety.

It will be noted from the foregoing that a chimney is provided, which isless liable to breakage, being in two parts, therefore providing for anyunequal expansion of either part without affecting the other under theaction of the gas or oil flame of the lamp or burner, thereby promotingthe life or longevity of the chimney. Also by means of the aforesaidarrangement the parts of the chimney may be readily separated andcleaned with facility and in much less time than is required in thecleaning of chimneys of this character, as heretofore constructed. Asabove intimated the top end of the chimney may be utilized for forming ashade for softening the light if required; also globes may be made afterthe fashion of my chimney in parts or sections as above described.

I claim 1. A lamp chimney of the character described consisting ofsections, one section having at its inner end an annular flange and ashoulder at the base of said flange, and the other chimney sectionhaving in its inner end a bulged portion adapted to encompass saidshoulder of the aforesaid section and having a shoulder at its innerupper edge adapted to engage the shoulder of the aforesaid chimneysection, and means for the retention of said section in assembledrelation.

2. A lamp chimney of the character described comprising sections, onesection having at its end an annular flange, and a shoulder at the baseof said flange, and the other chimney section having a bulged portion atits inner end adapted to receive said flange, said bulged portion havingat its name to this specification in the presence of upper edge ashoulder for engagement Wlth two subscrl-blng Witnesses.

the inner edge of said flange, said flange WILLIAM S WVILEY and saidbulged portion having interlocking means for the retention of saidchimney sec- Witnesses:
